Phoenix

[Nathan]

Gang - I work in Phoenix now. I have been to Finisterre, and the gates were wide open, almost as if to welcome me. So I drove to the house and took some picture outside. Went up in the driveway...people were working in the house - garage was open, people were audible. So I chickened out. What a place though - enormous, wide and tall doors and windows. Only single story of course but the ceilings must have been 15 feet high.

We don’t know where the drug houses she might have frequented were... Where else did she used to hang out in Phoenix? Restaurants, malls, Scottsdale Pier 1 Imports. Any information anyone is willing to share would be great. Thanks everyone.

She has been a homebody ever since she became famous.
FYI, because idiots here think I post at 4 am: it is 7.30 pm in Sydney, Australia.

Oh please. I can't imagine for one minute Stevie herself would ever go anywhere for drugs other than a posh LA rock party. Otherwise, her assistants probably have to do the dirty deed for her, or her dealer makes house delivery. For all her notoriety, she never got busted- lucky her.

You reminded me of that time (in 1980?) when John got busted for drugs. Kind of embarrassing!

New York Times, January 8, 1981

John McVie, bass player with the rock group Fleetwood Mac, was arrested last month at his home on the island of Maui and charged with felony possession of cocaine, it was reported today.

Acting on a tip from the Honolulu police, the police on Maui arrested Mr. McVie, 35 years old, and his wife, Julie Ann McVie, 29, at their home on Dec. 23, The Honolulu Advertiser reported today.

The newspaper said that police officers reported finding 4.5 grams of cocaine along with a small amount of marijuana in the McVie home. Mr. McVie and other Fleetwood Mac performers have bought homes on the island and in 1978 donated $21,440 from a Maui concert to island charities.

The musician and his wife were released on bail shortly after their arrest. Mr. McVie, a British subject, could face deportation proceedings if convicted.

That is such an interesting story because there are things we don't know. Why were the police called to the house? They went inside and then spotted cocaine in plain view?
Or was he officially charged with cocaine possession and they went to his home to arrest him?
Just curious what really happened. Police just don't "find" 4.5 grams of cocaine at your house unless invited inside, responding to a call and its in plain site, or a search warrant.

It IS strange because it says that the police who arrested him were acting on a tip they got from the Honolulu police. Who told the Honolulu please? Was it Mick?
